GARTER BELTS AND STOCKINGS – ARE YOU WEARING THEM?

Hello Everyone – here is another chapter from my book DRESS TO IMPRESS

Before pantyhose were introduced, every woman wore either a girdle with garter straps or a garter belt. Today garter belts are reserved for a sensual look. If you discarded yours when pantyhose came in, it will be a pleasant change to buy a new one for a different , more sexy, occasion.

For a very slim figure the narrow type, which is essentially an elastic band around the waist with four garter straps, is the best.

For a more voluptuous figure choose the type made like a little skirt, extending halfway down over the stomach

There are also panties with garter straps attached, which are good for all figures, but especially for a bigger-size woman. It will give the garter effect, without exposing too much.

                                                          To complete the seductive look of a garter belt, wear stockings of the same colour, If, however, black or red stockings are not appropriate with your dress, try stockings with seams up the back or with designs – net stockings can be fun too and certainly make for a sexy image.

The purpose of stockings with seams or designs is to draw attention to your legs. A sexy leg is always a welcome and intriguing sight, even for the most conservative men.

You might wonder whether pantyhose are sexy. I did quite a bit of research, asking different men how they felt about pantyhose, and their answer were all negative. In fact, more than one of them said. “Pantyhose are the worst thing ever invented.” When I asked why, the reason men gave was that pantyhose wrap a woman up, making her unavailable, and unreachable – they don’t extend an invitation. When you think about if for a moment, you’ll see the truth of this statement. So if you want to seduce someone, stockings, and a garter belt will me more helpful.

And don’t forget they should always be worn with high-heeled shoes even when you’re not wearing a dress — and if you have not yet bought a Christmas present for the man in your life — maybe wearing a garter belt and net stockings for the holidays would be a welcomed stocking stuffer?!

Until the next time

                         STAY WELL AND LOOK YOUR BEST
